This resonates with some vague ideas that keep haunting some
dark corners of my mind:

it isn't generally possible to convert "Word" [1] into Org. But what
if that "Word" is just a slight modification of something which has
been transformed from an Org document we know?

Of course, augmenting that with "pockets" where to stash meta-information
which might get lost on round-trip would be even more interesting. Perhaps
those pockets are external, tied to some (possibly change-resistant) hash
made of enough context.

Did I say dark corners?

Cheers

[1] "Word" as a placeholder for some random, rather unfriendly document
   format.
